Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck know the drill: Nothing says “celebrity romance” like Nobu’s lip lock.
The New York Post reported on Monday that the couple, who split in 2004 but reunited after Lopez’s March split from Alex Rodriguez, were photographed on Sunday kissing and having fun at the Malibu sushi restaurant, a favorite hangout among celebrities.
Occasion? The newspaper said that Linda, Lopez’s younger sister, was celebrating before her 50th birthday, which falls on Tuesday. The singer’s extended family, including her twins, Max and Amy, seemed to be on hand for dinner.
This is the first time Jen and Ben have been caught kissing since they started hanging out again in late April, sparking excited statements about the occurrence of Bennifer 2.0
They’ve been spending a lot of time together in recent weeks — a lot of it at her home in Los Angeles — and they’ve traveled together to Montana for the weekend. But Lopez was alone in Miami working on a music video before Bennifer’s reunion in Los Angeles on Friday.
Affleck was spotted with Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, last week in Las Vegas where, according to People, she was making a “fun” appearance in something the Oscar winner was throwing out. Rodriguez and Affleck are said to have been close since the first time the couple dated.
“In the past, Jennifer’s mom and Ben were very close. Guadalupe loved Ben. She was heartbroken when they couldn’t work things out years ago,” an unnamed source told People over the weekend. “She’s glad they’re back together now.”
Since ending his marriage to Jennifer Garner — the couple separated in 2015 after 10 years of marriage — Affleck has dated several people, including “Saturday Night Live” producer Lindsey Shokos, Playboy model Shauna Sexton, and “Knives Out” actress Ana de Armas, And who he’s been hanging out with for the greater part of the pandemic.
Lopez, who has gone through three divorces, started dating Alex Rodriguez in 2017. The couple got engaged in the Bahamas in 2019, then separated in mid-April after warning bells went off a bit prematurely in March.
With her adorable Nobu photos, Bennifer now shares something in common with alleged new couple Kanye West and Irina Shayk: They’re all photographed with the longest lens.
(By the way, for a while, J. Lo and A-Rod had a beach house in Malibu, near the restaurant, but unloaded it last September.)
